Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Perfect Romantic Getaway"

Review by: jwchandler924 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at Sea Dance for 5 nights in a Pool Villa room that was at the front of the property, overlooking the beach. We stayed April - May 2017 as part of our honeymoon vacation. We had a fabulous time at the resort and would highly recommend it. Pros - The resort was very quiet and private, and even with other guests and families, was very quiet. The staff was very personable, friendly, and helpful. They made every effort to make our stay the best. The rooms were very nice, with a large room area, large bathroom and shower, plenty of hot water and refreshing air conditioning. The property is very cute, with each room set up as its own 'cabana' and spread out nicely around the property. It had a very nice beach & relaxing feel, without being to themed. We ate at the restuarant multiple times and tried numerous items that were all delicious - especially the Thai food options.! They provided a happy hour daily, and had live music several times during our stay, which was entertaining without being too loud. While the location was slightly off of the main road (it is down a small side street), we were able to catch local shared taxis (red trucks) to get to other beaches with no problem. There is a 7-11 at the intersection of the main road and side street to Sea Dance for anything you might need to pick up. We also got a massage at the onsite spa our last day, which was wonderful. We didnt know that was available until we arrived. Cons - We found the beach to be a bit more rocky than we expected. Luckily we brought a pair of aqua socks/water shoes and that helped us to still be able to enjoy the beach. It is a good beach for snorkeling or kayaking, but not or swimming. This was fine for us, as other beaches were close by for a day visit, and we were still able to enjoy being by the water. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again in the future. We had a wonderful relaxing vacation and can't thank the staff at Sea Dance enough!"

Arumdalu: "Highly Personalised Service, Ecological Balanced Resort, Amazing Experience"

Review by: Hendra T | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is one of the place I wished I could rate more than 5 star. The service is highly personalised and awesome the moment you meet the driver at the airport. The driver made us feel very comfortable and kept us interested for the 1hr or so drive from the airport to the resort. The resort had only 10 villas, a huge private beach with soft white sand. The whole thing seems to be made to enhanced our experiences staying in this resort. Everything in the restaurant taste awesome. The vegetables and salads are picked up fresh from the garden. We had a romantic dinner package outside. Appreciate the staff setting the whole thing up for us for hours. Was a good experience. We took a batik making course, it was very interesting and we get to keep the batik we made :) Being in rainy season, lots of mosquitos, but bearable. The design for the whole place seems to take ecosystem balances in check. No mosquitos in the villa. The most expensive place we have ever booked, but we will definitely be back. The only bad thing is the Internet gets weaker the further we are from the reception and the restaurant, but hey... if you are in this place, you don't need internet and you dont want to use internet. Enjoy what this place and the nature has to offer! Belitung is a paradise, please keep the island that way (don't turn it into a Bali). Every resort in the Beltung should be built like this one... keeping the ecosystem balance in check. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Satri House: "วิถีเรียบง่ายแต่แฝงไว้ด้วยความคลาสสิค"

Review by: Bhupodhipiphat | Source: Trip Advisor
"หลวงพระบาง เมืองเล็กๆที่รุ่มรวยด้วยวิถีอันเรียบง่าย แฝงไว้ด้วยคุณค่าทางวัฒนธรรม นานวันก็จะเลือนลางไปจากสังคมเข้าไปทุกที เฉกเช่น “โรงแรมซาตรีเฮาส์รีเลสแอนด์ชาโตว์” ที่ซ่อนตัวอยู่ท่ามกลางเมืองอันเงียบสงบ ความคลาสสิกจะไม่ฉาดแสงให้เห็นเลย หากขาดซึ่งการดูแลเอาใจใส่ของพนักงานและเจ้าของพื้นที่ ก็เห็นจะเป็นเพียงอาคารเก่าๆหลังหนึ่งเท่านั้น ห้องพัก: ดูเคร่งขรึม เน้นความเป็นสมัยนิยมที่ทรงคุณค่า ทั้งเฟอร์นิเจอร์โบราณ และรูปแบการจัดวางอย่างลงตัว อาหาร: อาหารของที่นี่มีให้เลือกแบบง่ายๆ เมนูไม่มายนัก มื้อแรกของเราเป็นมื้อเที่ยงที่ค่อนข้างเลทไปเสียหน่อย อาหารลาวแบบพื้นบ้านที่แฝงไว้ด้วยความใส่ใจในรสชาติ ส่วนอาหารมื้อเช้าแบบ continental ก็พอได้อิ่มท้องจนถึงมื้อเที่ยงได้ สระว่ายน้ำ: มีอยู่ 2 สระ สระแรกบริเวณข้างตึกที่พัก สระใหญ่ สีเขียมชอุ่มตา ส่วนใหญ่แขกที่พัก จะนอนเล่นพักผ่อนสระนี้เสียส่วนใหญ่ ส่วนอีกสระเป็นสระเล็กลงมาหน่อยแต่ได้ความยาวขนานไปตามแนวอาคาร ซึ่งตั้งอยู่ใกล้ๆกับสปา เราจึงเลือกเล่นสระนี้เพราะแขกใช้บริการน้อย ดูส่วนตัวหน่อย การบริการ: ดูแลเอาใจใส่ ให้ความสำคัญและยิ้มแย้มทักทายอยู่เสมอๆ โดยรวม: ก็นับว่าแนะนำได้เต็มปากว่าควรไปพัก ด้วยความน่ารักของพนักงานและความสวยงามของสถานที่ จะมีก็เพียงราคาอาจจะสูงไปนิดเท่านั้นเอง Room Tip: ห้องสวีทจะเป็นห้องที่ใกล้สระว่ายน้ำและห้องอาหารจึงสะดวกที่สุด"

Tugu Bali: "A rare gem"

Review by: Ollgoodhere | Source: Trip Advisor
"I stayed at Tugu hotel with my wife and my little one and we absolutely loved it. A rare beautiful place in the middle of a lush garden. They did an incredible job to maintain this historic place. The mystique beach of Canggu is one step ahead which can be enjoyed thanks to a very convenient ""green beach deck"" to enjoyed all the facilities of the 5 stars. The service is excellent. The Indonesian food very tasty and I simply loved the surprising Japanese restaurant. We need now to test the Tugu hotel in Lombok !"

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Luxury Hideaway next to rice paddies & jungle"

Review by: AirmileAlex | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed in one of the villas which shares a pool with 3 others. The accommodation was gorgeous - bedroom above plus semi open air bathroom and day bed area downstairs and beautiful decor, art & landscaping throughout the property. The boutique nature of the venue meant that the restaurant & lounge were calm but service and food still excellent. Given that this is nestled into the jungle, frogs & other wildlife were pretty noisy through the night but that added to the charm for us. We also enjoyed a private yoga class with a super teacher in the yoga pavilion early morning.

Bali Jiwa Villa: "Amazing Experience"

Review by: Silvernomads | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Wow !! From the minute you arrive at a little carved wooden door set in the middle of a rice field you realise this is like no where else. We rented the two Villas here so had the whole place to ourselves total privacy, peace and seclusion. The Villas and Lounge/Dining area are beautifully constructed and furnished to blend into the landscape lovely comfy beds, large bathrooms plus outdoor bath and shower. Each area has a collection of books about Indonesia lovely local carvings and traditional furniture make you feel like you are staying in someone's home the attention to detail is fantastic. And now the Staff !! You have your own Staff team who look after your every need cooking and serving beautiful Indonesian. There is a small choice at Breakfast and lunch and a lovely home cooked Indonesian Feast in the Evening. This was an unforgettable Balinese experience - hope to return one day. "

MAISONS WAT KOR: "Relax and enjoy"

Review by: travellersalways | Source: tripadvisor.com
Spacious Cambodian style rooms with excellent amenities set in lush tropical gardens. Staff could not have been more helpful. A little out of town, but no problems with arranging transport. Nice pool. Good breakfast. Nice to sit out on the balcony of the room and enjoy the setting.

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Elegant food and service"

Review by: getmeonaplane_10 | Source: Trip Advisor
"My wife and I enjoyed a dinner here as part of our honeymoon this week. I had the 6 course vegetarian menu, and my wife had one of the six course omnivorous options (including a frogs legs option!). All courses were simply superb. Beautiful balanced flavours were supported by technical flair. Service was perfect, warm yet unobtrusive. The decor was subtle and the atmosphere calm. Truly, this was one of the best meals I have ever enjoyed. Thank you!"
